In regards to eating meat

[fairyfarmgirl]

Certainly lots of people are healthy despite a "non-ideal" diet. Anything in moderation is ok.


As Ra says, "Acceptance of self, forgiveness of self, and direction of the will: this is the path of the disciplined personality."

What I get out of your post fairyfarmgirl is a defensiveness that, IMO, is based on the feeling like you're being attacked. I'm not attacking you, I think the fact you spend time thinking about nutrition makes you conscientious and a trailblazer.

In my life I'm also a trailblazer, and since I don't have a family to worry about, since I don't have significant economic challenges, I'm able to spend a lot of my free time seeking out the cutting edge. I present this information in the spirit of giving, not in the spirit of attack or condemnation.

I myself don't even follow this perfect diet 100% of the time -- I know first hand how hard it is. But it's something to keep in mind, something to aim for.

There is no need to feel guilty, and no need to feel defensive. Baby steps are the best steps....whether those steps are towards being more loving, being more disciplined, or something simple and relatively trivial like eating more nutritious food.

Baby steps are always the best steps

I apologize if you felt I was attacking you in any way. It was not my intent. I was merely expressing a passionate opinion that I feel strongly about. I am passionately opposed to mono-cultures of plants. I will moderate my enthusiasm in the future so that I do not offend. I apologize once again.

Thank you for your thoughtful and cutting edge information you have presented here.
